There has been a dramatic spread of health markets in much of Asia
and Africa over the past couple of decades. This has substantially
increased the availability of health-related goods and services in
all but the most remote localities, but it has created problems
with safety, efficiency and cost. The effort to bring order to
these chaotic markets is almost certain to become one of the
greatest challenges in global health. This book documents the
problems associated with unregulated health markets and presents
innovative approaches that have emerged to address them. It
outlines a framework that researchers, policy makers and social
entrepreneurs can use to analyse health market systems and assess
the likely outcome of alternative interventions. The book presents
a new way of understanding highly marketised health systems,
applies this understanding to an analysis of health markets in
countries across Asia and Africa and identifies some of the major
new developments for making these markets perform better in meeting
the needs of the poor. It argues that it is time to move beyond
ideological debates about the roles of public and private sectors
in an ideal health system and focus more on understanding the
operation of these markets and developing practical strategies for
improving their performance. This book is ideal reading for
researchers and students in public health, development studies,
public policy and administration, health economics, medical
anthropology, and science and technology studies. It is also a
valuable resource for policy makers, social entrepreneurs, and
planners and managers in public and private sector health systems,
including pharmaceutical companies, aid agencies, NGOs and
international organisations.
